No Spending Challenge and What I Would Shop if I Could

People Also Read

After spending way too much on clothes, accessories and beauty products in January and the first past of February, I decided to challenge myself to not spend any money on those things until mid-April. Say WHAAAAAT???

This year, I started to pay more attention on my spending and began to track every penny I spend on fashion and beauty in an excel sheet. I always budget for expenses like rent, utilities, food and fun but never kept a real penny-by-penny track of my other spending habits.

Do you think I will be able to do it? To be honest, I’m afraid to fail so I decided to share this decision with you so it becomes more real and I can’t back out. Who wants to do it with me? I’m pretty sure your credit card and wallet will thank you.

Being a fashion blogger puts yourself in the pressure of buying new things so you’re always on top of the game but I disagree with this and think you can still play with what you already have. Of course, I have set a reward for myself if I’m able to complete the challenge successfully so at least I have something to look forward because I JUST LOVE TO BUY NEW CLOTHES.

There’s a few pieces that I’m drooling about and want to shop so bad! I listed them here and pretend like I’m buying them.

I think this is the perfect pair of sandals for spring. Yellow is the “it” color of the moment and the block heel gives you a little height while still being able to walk in them. It’s sold out on my size but I would at least buy the ones in pink.

Saddle bags are big right now. The classic shape is practical, sleek and simple yet visually engaging. It works for running errands as well as a night out. The cream color of this one would be great to wear everyday and match with most outfits.

Been obsessed with tied blouses lately. I love how they accentuate the waist and make your body look good. Perfect for work or the weekend, I only buy things I can wear multiple times to get the cost per wear.

Do you think I’m going to be able to complete the challenge successfully? Do you think you would be able to do it? Do you want to do it with me? Which piece is your favorite? Should I make an exception and buy just one piece, pretty please? Kidding, don’t tempt me!

I hope you will be able to accomplish your challenge. I am trying to do a similar one, after spending way too much money in January and February… I mean, do I really need a £40 monthly gin subscription? :))

They are still a little skimpier than I”d like. But I do love the high waisted two piece. I felt sort of weird going in there to try it on, bc I”m not 17 lol but that helped me decide I wanted that one! I would pop in there or just try on and return via mail if it doesn”t work out. xo
